Since the apocalypse is inevitable whether he watches the meteor shower or not, he might as well make the most of this final spectacle.
"What time is it? I really didn't notice that!" Fang Yuan asked.
She remembered it was tonight, but she didn't pay attention to the exact time.
"Eleven o'clock, that'll be just the right time for us to finish packing!" Fang Qinghe said after checking the time.
"Okay, after we collect the meat, shall we find a place to look around?"
She had hardly ever seen a large meteor shower that was visible to the naked eye.
The two chatted as they arrived at a large cold storage facility.
"These beef and mutton are yak meat and grassland sheep that they airlifted back from Tibet. They look really good."
Fang Qinghe then checked it out.
The beef inside was indeed fresh; the meat wasn't even frozen solid yet.
"So I'll pretend?"
After Fang Yuan asked the system and confirmed that there were no surveillance cameras or outsiders, she then put the meat into the first floor of the small tower.
The first floor of the small tower has the largest space and the most open area.
She has already packed a lot of rice, flour, and cooking oil in the past two days, and her father also found a large pile of charcoal for her to pack.
She collected a huge amount of bamboo charcoal, wood charcoal, and coal.
"Let's go home. The view from the mountain is perfect for watching the meteor shower," Fang Qinghe said to Fang Yuan after checking the time.
"Um!"
The two went directly to the top of Nanshan Mountain. The surroundings were quiet and deserted, with only the faint chirping of insects.
Few people come to this mountaintop during the day, let alone at night.
Standing by the pavilion on the mountaintop, I gazed at the star-studded night sky in the distance.
Fang Yuan checked the time; there were still about ten minutes left.
She then had the system scan the surroundings to confirm that there were only the two of them within a kilometer.
They took out the lobsters they had prepared earlier, and then brought out a few bottles of chilled drinks.
"Dad, want some midnight snack?"
After she was able to project her mental energy outwards, the system's detection range expanded, which helped her a lot.
"Eat, but when did you prepare this late-night snack? Spicy crayfish again?"
He found it somewhat amusing to look at the things Fang Yuan had laid out.
Is it because I've been eating bland food for two days and now I crave spicy food?
"I was just feeling a bit bland, so I made myself something to eat, but you called me downstairs before I could even eat it," Fang Yuan replied, handing over disposable gloves and chopsticks.
"When did you make these crayfish? Where did you make them?" Fang Qinghe asked curiously.
"It's in my space. Did I say I could go in?" Fang Yuan asked his father.
Cao Can opened the door to a shopping mall on one floor, but she could still go inside.
Fang Yuan thought about it carefully and realized that Cao Can rarely entered the space.
Moreover, she always pretended not to be able to connect with Mr. Fang.
Fortunately, Fang's father was meticulous and used poison to kill her.
"Can people go into this space? Can they even cook inside? Can they live there too?" Fang Qinghe asked with a look of surprise.
As expected of his daughter, Cao Can didn't have this ability before.
"Yes!" Fang Yuan nodded.
"My daughter is truly amazing; she practically owns a house with her." Fang Qinghe exclaimed with a smile.
He then unceremoniously sat down on the stool, put on gloves, and began peeling lobsters.
"This tastes really good. Yuanyuan, your cooking skills are even better than your mother's. Eating a late-night snack while watching a meteor shower, you're a better spender than your father," Fang Qinghe exclaimed.
He had done everything he could, and with only three days left, he couldn't do anything more.
Time was indeed too tight, and the villa only had two layers of anti-corrosion material reinforced on the roof.
Fortunately, the materials used in the previous renovation were all top-notch, and the glass was bulletproof and highly durable, which allowed it to last until the end in my previous life.
"It's mainly because I have a sweet tooth and love this kind of food. Anyway, it's all still inside, so I can make it in advance and eat it whenever I want."
Fang Yuan was in a pretty good mood as he peeled crayfish.
Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Fang Qinghe pondered for a moment and then took off his gloves.
He said, "Yuanyuan, fetch some charcoal and a charcoal brazier. We'll burn a few braziers of charcoal to store."
He almost forgot to burn charcoal; the temperature dropped so suddenly and drastically on the first day that he was worried his parents wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Now? Here?" Fang Yuan asked, pointing around.
They came up to see the meteor shower, but why is his father so unpredictable?
"Let's do it now, I'm afraid I'll forget it when we get back. Your grandparents are old and can't stand the cold," Fang Qinghe said.
"Alright!"
Hearing that it was for taking care of the two elders, Fang Yuan did not object, after all, she was afraid that she would forget.
She found five charcoal braziers at the department store and took them all out.
As the two were busy starting a fire, streaks of shooting stars streaked across the night sky.
Golden lines stretched across the sky like a beautiful painting.
"Look, the meteor shower has started, it's so beautiful!"
Fang Yuan looked up unintentionally, stared at the sky, and exclaimed in surprise.
Is this the madness before the apocalypse?
“That one is huge, it looks like it’s about a third the size of the moon,” Fang Yuan said, pointing to one of the giant meteors.
"You're really brave, aren't you afraid of it at all?"
Fang Qinghe also looked up at the huge shooting star.
That shooting star was one of the culprits behind the apocalypse.
"What's there to be afraid of? Dad, you give me enough security, what do I have to be afraid of?"
Fang Yuan flattered Fang Qinghe.
"Don't worry, Yuanyuan, Daddy will definitely protect you this time."
Seeing the trust in his daughter's expression, Fang Qinghe replied earnestly.
The meteor shower lasted for about half an hour and was quite spectacular.
"Let's go back."
"good!"
After watching a meteor shower and burning five pots of charcoal, the two strolled slowly home.
The next morning, after getting up, Fang Yuan went downstairs and saw Fang Qinghe standing at the door, carefully examining the oil-paper umbrella in his hand.
"Dad, what are you looking at? Why are you holding an oil-paper umbrella?" Fang Yuan asked curiously.
"It's raining outside, I'm going to test the concentration," Fang Qinghe said, shaking the oil-paper umbrella in his hand.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan quickly walked over and asked, "Are you alright?"
At this moment, there are only shallow marks on the oil-paper umbrella, indicating that the corrosive substance is not very strong.
She looked up and saw that the sky seemed to be covered by a thin mist.
The rain outside was a light drizzle, but it was falling everywhere in the world where meteor showers could be seen.
The gases released after a meteor burns are extremely corrosive, yet they readily combine with water molecules in the air.
“It’s currently slightly acidic, but there are already signs.” Fang Qinghe gestured for Fang Yuan to look at the umbrella in his hand.
"Shall I go out and take a look?"
Fang Yuan started to walk out, but Fang Qinghe stopped him.
"You silly child, I told you there would be a problem and you still went out. You can't get wet in the rain."
Although the rain was light, it contained acidic substances, so getting wet was never a good idea.
"Okay, I won't go out. Can you let me see your umbrella?"
"Handle it carefully, don't get anything on it," Fang Qinghe instructed Fang Yuan as he handed the umbrella handle.
